I can hug people - Sunday

I planned to get woken up at 0840 or something. Instead my power supply to the computer is so tempermental that a slight knock will uplug it. This meant that about an hour after going to bed it ran out of power. I woke at 0940 and got into the shower in under 30 seconds. When I need to get up, I can. I walked to Easterney with Lawrence and Sarah. Lorna had a very late night last night and couldn't come along in the morning. Apparently Sarah has created the list of 10 tips and is going to give me one tip each week, I'm looking forwards to it. The morning service was aimed at the children and very very interesting. After the service, Andrew, Lizzy, Steven, Pete and myself went to a pub for lunch. After that we walked along the southsea walk and covered a wide range of topics and activities. Pete is a new guy from America, he's quite cool and is studying criminal justice and politics for a half a semester. There was some seven or eight year old child playing on his own with a frisbee. We got into a game of it with him and it was quite good fun. He certanly enjoyed it a lot. On the way back we somehow got onto the topic of hugs. Lizzy said she missed hugging her friends as a greeting from home and I volunteered to fix the situation. She's now on the list of (4) people that say it's okay for me to hug them (relatives don't count). Steven is normally very 'nice', but on the way back he helped me in completely winding Lizzy up by asking lots of specific hugging questions. In the end Lizzy actually had to give us a demonstration so that we'd stop asking questions. It didn't help her much... The afternoon service was very good. Jonathan actually asked for responses to things and it made the service much more interactive and interesting than normal. I hope he does it more often. As a side note, Johnathan is speaking at tomorrows CU meeting and I'm going to do my best to record it and stick it on the net. That way, those that can't make it can still hear it. Who knows, if it's popular I'll make a podcast out of it (it's not like they're hard to do). I've tried moving my speaker around and it's now taking up space that my chair wheels go, BUT, the bass is much better. I'll experiment some more but so far I'm happy. Random Fact of the Day - Thanks Lizzy Yes, today's fact is about hugging. When a man hugs a lady in greeting (we're assuming they know each other) the correct form of hugging involves the man's shoulders being above the lady's. If the lady is much shorter than the man then he should crouch down and hug under her shoulders. I also added that if they're small and light weight they could be picked up. I did not get a response to that so I'm assuming it's okay.
